Can you tell I have been cooking - or thinking about it? This is a basic cake recipe handed down for many generations.
1 cup milk
2 cups sugar
3 cups flour
4 eggs
1 cup of butter
Mix well - beat on high for about 3 minutes. Bake at 300 degrees until springs to touch.
These old recipes based "mixing" and "cooking" on common sense. Mix well means mixed until ingredients are thoroughly combined but not until the bubbles are frothing. Cook until down or springs to the touch - toothpick in center comes out clean. The women of yesteryear didn't care a whit whether the enzymes had broken down. They just tried to feed their families tasty and filling food. I don't have a clue as to the fat, sugar, protein, or cholesterol content is and really don't care. This cake is good!
